Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Sunscreen for Face, Non-Chemical BB Cream & Mineral Sunscreen, Water-Resistant, Matte Finish, For Sensitive Facial Skin, Medium to Tan Skin Tones, 3 FL Oz

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I absolutely love this tinted sunscreen! I spent hours deciding which tinted mineral sunscreen to buy as my very first one. I am done with putting greasy chemical sunscreen on my face and now I also have my favourite tinted mineral sunscreen. When I chose this one to try it, I was not 100% sure about the shade – lighter vs darker (fair vs medium/tan). I chose tan and I am happy that I did. It literally looks like I put a foundation and a setting powder on my face! Bye bye make up for this summer. It is a nice glowing tan colour and the best part is that it sets completely dry and matte! I have a sensitive drier skin but I also have a bit oily T-zone and the chin area so I did not know what this is gonna do to my face. It is absolutely amazing because it is moisturizing, but light weight and perfect for oil control without drying your face. There is no crease, no oily face. it is just like a perfect soft foundation that makes you feel like you are not wearing anything on your face but you look nice when you peak at yourself in the mirror. How is it even possible that it ticks all the boxes. The bottle is actually bigger than I expected – another great surprise. I took a photo with the sunscreen on my hand on two different lights and on the left side of the hand I kept it a bit built up and the right side I massaged it into the skin and you cannot even see that it is on. If you are still deciding – JUST BUY IT, IT REALLY IS AMAZING

Australian gold vs Nuetrogena. Pros: matte, works amazingly as a makeup primer ( your makeup will last all day! In the heat!!!! Cons: will stain wash cloths, hard to remove double cleansing with a cleansing balm or oil will be required. Funny smell.In depth review:I was recently introduced to tinted mineral sunscreen after being diagnosed with actinic rosacea. Initially I learned about the nitrogen a mineral uv tint from Dr.Dray on YouTube. I have been using that one for several months but it only has an spf of 30, and when my dermatologist decided to put me on low dose isotretretinoin I was advised to move up to a minimum of spf 50. The only affordable option I found was this one and I’m so glad that I did! It slightly more expensive per tube than Nuetrogenas version but at 3 fluid ounces the tube is almost 3x bigger than Nuetrogenas 1.1 fluid oz tube making it way more cost effective and more effective over all due to the higher spf. I photographed the two to highlight the different consistencies The consistency of Australian gold is thicker but it applies weightlessly and has a natural semi castles matte finish that would work well for oily to combo skin, Nuetrogena is more fluid however definitely feels heavier on the skin and initially leaves a slight cast that takes a few minutes to melt into the skin and result in a sheer dewy/greasy finish. It would definitely be more suited toward severely dry skin. Despite being on the dryer side I still prefer the semi matte of the Australian gold! However it does continue drying out during wear. It wears really nicely under makeup. I believe this will be my staple sunscreen from now on But I will continue to use both as isotretinoin has been known to dry your skin out and the Nuetrogena may be better for severely dry days or colder weather.

Very Nice, Dries Matte to a Powdery Finish. I initially got the Medium-Tan shade, thinking it will have just enough tint to give me a little color, but it was way too dark for my skin tone, so I returned it and bought the Fair-Light shade from Target, which matches my skin nicely.I’m new to the tinted sunscreen idea and initially got a different brand but it felt too greasy, so I decided to try this one and am very satisfied with it. This Australian Gold one comes out like a cream and it dries almost to a powdery (matte) finish after a few minutes once applied. If you are fair-skinned, the Fair-Light has a soft tint and gives a natural look, almost like you’re wearing a light amount of foundation, but the Medium-Tan is several shades darker and it will definitely show up too dark for light skin tones.I applied it around my eyelids and had no problem with sensitivity on my eyes, even after wearing it for 7 hours outside on a very warm day- I was sweating (thogh not so much on my face) and I was pleasantly surprised that at the end of the day, the product still looked nice and matte on my face.I highly recommend this product if you like a non-greasy, matte sunscreen that’s gentle, especially around the eyes.I’ve never worn regular sunscreen too close to my eyes because it stings my eyes, but I tried it for the first time with this product and I had no eye sensitivity! I heard that mineral sunscreens are best for applying on the eyelids and this worked very well for me.It it unscented, but I could smell a very mild plant/botanical aroma, which I like. I can’t wear anything with fragrance on my face, so thank you for making it Unscented.

Applies smooth. I read a lot about this product before deciding to try it out. I loved my last sunscreen but I wanted a higher SPF. Overall this product is smooth and applies like foundation matte. It blends well on me without a white cast. It gives an illusion that I’m wearing makeup. It has no shine to it so it’s perfect for people with oily skin.. In winter I would have to use another sunscreen for moisture and shine.It states on the tube water resistant up to 80 mins; I wore this for hours WITHOUT reapplying, ( I work mainly indoors) later when I went to clean my face I noticed water just bounced off. I had to first remove this sunscreen as I remove makeup. Maybe it’s a good thing that this sunscreen stays put on your face for that long? It takes a good bit scrubbing to get it off at the end of the day, just FYI.

BEST TINTED SUNSCREEN FOR FAIR SKIN. I am quite fair, so always wear spf50 sunscreen. I prefer tinted sunscreen, since the days of perfect skin are over, and I’m not willing to wear foundation over sunscreen.The Australian Gold tinted sunscreen in Fair/Light is both light enough for my skin tone and, best of all, cruelty free! I only wish it had a less matte finish. I know it is the current style, but it is definitely aging. Moisturizer underneath helps, but there definitely isn’t a youthful glow.

I can’t believe it. I thought I would not like this product, as I have a very hard time getting SPF that I love. I am a middle aged, white woman with pale, very dry skin. The ones I bought in the past either left a chalky white cast or settled into my wisdom lines. This product went on smooth and didn’t accentuate my laugh lines. I ordered the lightest color and it just adds a hint of color. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I will continue to use this.

Tinted mineral sunscreen with a matte finish. Love the quality of this sunscreen, especially at this price point! It does not have the gritty, cakey, or sometimes greasy finish of many mineral sunscreens yet it is not drying to my mature, combination and tretinoin affected skin. It is very pigmented, and if I use the full 1/4 teaspoon amount it will look like I have heavy makeup on. What I have been doing is put on a Korean mineral sunscreen when I do my morning skincare routine, and put on a large pea size amount of Australian Gold just before heading outside. It seems to work well and protects my face.

Does a good job, but drying even with moisturizer. I have fair skin and I wanted an everyday sunscreen/light foundation, so I could protect my skin outside. The tint is nice, it makes me look like I have a very slight tan. A little seems to go a long way.I washed my face first, then applied a good moisturizer and let my skin absorb it for about 5 minutes before applying this BB cream. It goes on smoothly and has decent coverage of uneven skin tone and minor blemishes. I waited a few minutes, then used a finishing hydrating spray for added moisture.Unfortunately, the BB cream has a drying effect, so it exaggerated fine lines and is somewhat difficult to clean off at the end of the day. I didn’t stay out long enough to have to reapply. I suppose this makes the SPF last longer for more protection, so there are trade-offs.This was expensive, $18 for 3 oz (the 2 darker shades are 33% less expensive) and I didn’t put any on my neck, which I usually do. So I might just go with a regular SPF on top of my moisturizer next time.I am very, very pleased that this company is cruelty-free and vegan!
